So I broke my pattern for a bit to make a little continuation of the last chapter. But I'm gonna do a "Present Time" chapter next then another fluff one before I get into more darkness.

Hope Ya'll enjoy.

Alice ran as fast as she could with Bendy in her arms. The toon demon was slowly starting to get more and more scared the longer he stared at the inky torso chasing them. He was also scared of the increased amount of ink in the hallway. He held the angel tight when he saw more of the ink torsos pull themselves out.

"Alice there's more now!" Bendy panicked, it also really didn't help he felt himself loosing what little stability he had for a while.

"Damn it!" Alice cursed and tried to find something or somewhere to hide. She luckily found it in the form of an ajar door. She darted right into it and then slammed the door behind her, before pressing her back against it to make sure those… those things didn't get in.

She waited on baited breath, listening as the creatures groaning grew louder and at least one of them scrapped at the door a bit, making both her sweat a little bit of her own ink and for Bendy's melting form to drip a little more from his own fear.

A few beats passed until finally it went silent on the other end of the door and both toons let out a shaky sigh of relief. Alice slid down the door into a seated position with her fellow toon still in her arms.

The two toons sat there, both of them shuddering a bit as they tried to recollect their thoughts and try to figure out just what happened… only for Alice's eyes to widen at the room they were in.

"Bendy…"

"Yeah?"

The room looked like it was coated with ink, one of the pipes on the wall looked like it had a steady stream of ink flowing out of a crack. Very few places were dry from the black liquid and in normal cases this would be an annoyance for the living toon… but at the moment it seemed more like a time bomb waiting to go off and she was just watching the clock tick down.

"Stay wrapped up… as tightly as possible please…" She pulled the hood of one of the coats over Bendy's head more as she stated. Her eyes still on the scene as if she was stuck just staring at a train wreck.

"Not much else I can do toots…" Bendy muttered, slightly annoyed at having most of his vision covered by the hood as well as some of his own ink. He grimaced at the thought of needing another bottle of "outside" ink so soon after the last one, especially since he felt a little more droopy now.

Alice was about to try to stand up when she realized her first problem… she was still holding Bendy and leaning her back against the door still. She needed to find a way to readjust herself to properly stand back up… Her second was the fact she felt scared to even try to put Bendy down just to stand herself up. With all the ink everywhere and if even a small amount of Bendy got hit by the ink… she still wasn't sure but she feared it might lead straight to something terrible.

It really didn't help when they heard a knock on the door. Both had practically screamed at the sudden, albeit more polite noise… but it also backfired a little as Alice jumped away from the door and accidentally knocked herself and Bendy to the ground.

Alice panicked for a moment, worrying if any of the ink got onto the demon, but also used that to her advantage to push herself up again quickly. Thankfully for her Bendy didn't… but that didn't mean he didn't feel his own ink sticking to more of the coats then before.

The door opened slowly and Alice was prepared to run again… until she saw it was the music director Sammy Lawrence. The toon angel relaxed at the sight of him, but was a little concerned. After all… the workers usually weren't here around this time.

"Sammy? What are you doing here?"

Bendy blinked at Alice's question and tried to turn himself around in her grip to get a better look at Sammy… but the jackets covered some of his vision to the point he couldn't even see the music director. He didn't dare take them off though…. Not with all the ink from the machine in this room.

Silence was her only answer. A blank lifeless stare was all she received from the music director as he slowly walked into the room. Alice took a step back, feeling the sticky ink below her shoes as she felt uneasy with her human friend.

"Sammy? W-What's… What's wrong?" Alice tried again, a trickle of fear started to burn in her very being. Bendy himself started to feel the same way as he held tighter to the angel then he did before.

That's when the muttering started, neither of the living toons could make out exactly what was being said… but from what they could pick up it was almost a version of Boris's "Sheep" song. Sammy continued to slowly approach the two which made Alice only back up further, trying to keep a good distance between her and Sammy. Bendy himself grew more and more fearful the further into the ink filled room they went.

"Sammy-" Whatever the angel was going to say next was instantly cut off by her own scream as something grabbed her leg.

"ALICE!" Bendy screamed as the mentioned angel was pulled down hard to the ground and forced to let go of the demon. From what little he could see, one of those torso things had pulled itself out quickly and was dragging her further into the room where a few more of those things started to pop up.

Alice screamed and kicked at the ink monster, after three or four of them it's head as well as the rest of it's body dispersed back into the ink…. But that one was soon replaced with the other monsters crawling out after her.

Bendy was practically frozen in horror. His first instinct was to claw his way out of the jackets and run in to help his friend… but it was quickly followed up with his paralyzing fear of the machine's ink that rested in the room. Not to mention the fact that Sammy seemed to have gotten close enough that Bendy could hear his mutterings more clearly.

"Sheep, sheep, sheep… it's time for sleep… rest your head, it's time for bed now. In the morning you may wake or in the morning… you'll be dead," the music director seemed to repeat that same thing quietly as he blankly stared on as Alice fought tooth and nail against the increasing amount of ink torsos clawing their way towards her.

"S-Stop it…"

Alice got pinned down by three of the ink abominations and more crawled towards her groaning loudly.

"P-Please…"

The angel struggled and fought with all her might but the numbers were getting too much for her and seemed to only be increasing with every "Dead" Sammy muttered in his seemingly hypnotized state.

"STOP IT!"

The demon screamed and jumped out of his only protection from the ink around him.
